Public goods that are nonrivalrous in consumption, means that the amount that one consumer uses does not diminish the amount available to another consumer. Making publicly provided Internet service available to all residents of a community is an example of a nonrivalrous public good because one resident using the service does not diminish the amount available to another resident. For example, Chattanooga, Tennessees municipally owned electric utility provides residents and businesses with Internet service of up to one gigabit per second200 times faster than the U.S. average (Newcombe, 2013). Using Hymans (2021) definition of public goods and his description of their characteristics, determine which public services are provided by the local government jurisdiction under your analysis.

From the Annual Budget of your local jurisdiction

• Which services would you define as pure public goods, or as close to a pure public good as you can find, that are being provided by the local jurisdiction you are reviewing?
• Are there services being rationed in any particular way within this jurisdiction? If yes, describe how it is being done.
• Are there services you think should be rationed? If yes, how would you propose to do it?

Overview For this activity, you will critically analyze how those within your chosen population engage with your topic. You will identify what is already working well and opportunities for change. Completing this activity will result in a draft of the critical analysis section of your project. It also provides an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into your project submission. Directions In this activity, you will consider the elements of your topic you can develop to encourage, promote, and transform conversations about diversity. Include diverse perspectives from varied sources to support your points. You should continue to gather the sources you will integrate into your final project, which include two resources from course materials and two resources from the library. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance in finding evidence and resources from outside the course. For this activity, you will discuss how to collaborate constructively with your chosen population group. You will then describe at least one positive element related to your topic and, finally, one element that could benefit from change. PLEASE NOTE: You are not required to answer each question below the rubric criteria but may use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis. It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion. Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work. You will be evaluated on both criteria. Discuss how you would constructively collaborate with your population to encourage their engagement with your chosen topic. Consider how you would develop a dialogue with your population about the topic you have chosen. What are your ideas for supporting constructive and inclusive conversation and programs of engagement? Describe at least one positive element within your topic that supports transformation. What conversational and collaborative approaches have already been successful? Visualize how this positive element could have a ripple effect towards a transformative conversation about your topic. This is not simply your opinion but should be supported by reliable evidence. If you do not think your topic has been engaged with positively or successfully, explain why you have come to this conclusion. Describe at least one specific element within your topic that could benefit from change. What potential opportunities are there to improve your topic? What could be done differently to encourage, promote, or transform your topic? Build off ways that your topic has been discussed and represented in the past. This is not simply your opinion but should be supported by reliable evidence. What to Submit Submit your short paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

Overview When creating a brand identity package, there are some basic design decisions you will need to make.

These are the components of your brand that you will use consistently across all of your business collateral, including blog posts, business cards, presentations, promotional material, and so on. The design decisions you make when creating your brand identity package should be influenced by your design aesthetics or style. Another important component of your personal brand identity is the mission statement, which provides a snapshot of your skills and experience. Drafting a mission statement often begins with identifying the qualities or adjectives that best describe your brand. These qualities or adjectives can also help you make specific choices for the brand’s look and feel. In this activity, you will create a style tile to determine the components that you will use in your personal brand identity package. The style tile should specify design elements, such as colors and fonts, that will work together to reflect a cohesive brand style. This activity will help you complete Project Two in Module Seven. You will apply the elements you create in this activity to your portfolio website in the project. Directions Use the Style Tile template linked in the What to Submit section to create a style tile for your personal brand using Adobe Illustrator. This should include a logo concept, color selections, typography, and other style selections. Use the resources linked in the Supporting Materials section for more information. You can add or remove elements from the template based on your requirements.

Each discussion is meant to be a collaborative space for conversation in which to process the concepts within the course. To ensure an interesting and respectful discussion, you are encouraged to think creatively about your initial posts and build upon the points made by your peers. Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies, as discussed in the Module One Overview. It is also important to review the module resources and read the prompts in their entirety before participating in the discussion. To explore a topic outside of our current time period, let’s examine something that clearly illustrates the consequences of historical interpretation. Read the article, “This Map Shows the Scale of the 16th- and 17th-Century Scottish Witch Trials” located in the module resources. When reviewing this article, you may consult the map or the text. As you examine the article, find stories, details, and words that stand out as topics of diversity. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/map-visualizes-scale-16th-and-17th-century-scottish-witch-hunts-180973226/ Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts. For your initial post, address the following: What details and words stand out to you as topics of diversity? What might this resource tell us about culture, identity, and power and their relationship to history? For your response posts, address the following: How does your peers’ understanding of the article inform your understanding of seeing a same historical moment from more than one perspective? Remember, this assignment is graded on the quality of your initial post and at least two response posts to your classmates. If you refer to any sources, be sure to include an attribution (or citation) to the resource.
